the winner is...

Almost 4 weeks ago, we found out BinBag is a bouncing baby boy!!

 I was really unbiased towards either gender (I know, I know, all moms say this). There would be pluses to both. If BinBag were a girl, she'd be the first in BOTH families and would probably be incredibly spoiled (but it's not like all the boys aren't anyways ;)), and she'd have 4 cousins & a big brother that would keep her incredibly safe; if BinBag were a boy he would be only 20 short months apart from his brother...how fun would that be? Not to mention the bins and bins and bins of hand me downs from his three older cousins & Cayden. When the ultrasound tech said, "It's a boy!" we immediately fell in love with our newest bundle of boy!

Then comes the hardest part...the name! Of course, all we had picked out was a girl's name! I will keep this name to myself in case a girl ever comes around ;). We had a boys name we were iffy about, but really didn't end up loving it. For many weeks, we have been randomly saying names that we like, and every single time the other one of us vetos it. We literally went through two or three websites worth of names. Some names we were obviously joking and others we'd hesitate and then say, "no, that's not it." We both are pretty picky when it comes to names so I figured it was going to take us forever to pick one. I was convinced this child would be nameless for a good month after he was born ;). 

Well, it finally happened! We finally found a name for BinBag, a PERFECT name for our second precious baby. Coming (sometime around) August 4, 2013:

Bennett Elijah Hobbs

I am so happy to finally have a name. I know it sounds super cliche, but I feel so much more bonded to him now that I can refer to him as "Bennet" or "Ben"! I talk to him all of the time, and, in my opinion, having a name makes it so much more personal for me!

So, my precious Bennett, I love you so much! Your daddy, Cayden (just get ready for that boy), and I are so thrilled to have you join our family. This week your small flutters turned into feeling precious little feet kicking and your sweet tiny body moving back and forth, back and forth. And while I am starting to lose some sleep due to bathroom breaks and heartburn, I am cherishing and loving every moment! 

{19 weeks...getting rounder by the day (way sooner than with Cayden)

We have our big anatomy scan next week so I will make sure to post pictures of Bennett after that!}
